haha... look up how many games he played in the nfl wasn't many...to be fair he took hits....he was to flamboyant for my taste I didn't him

Yea Eli will pass him in starts this year, in MUCH less time....im sure he did get hit alot. Though football-reference.com says that in the years they tracked sacks, he took SIGNIFICANTLY less sacks than Eli already has....109 vs. 194(first 4 years they werent tracked, so lets be generous and say 150 for namath)

all better QBs than Namath who played in the same era.......and yet we're talking about Joe ****ing Namath, simply because his popularity, and superbowl 2

Unitas was at the end of his career when Namath was in his prime. Jurgensen was a fine player but not close to Namath. Staubach was really much later than Namath and Staubach is one of the top 7 or so QB's of all time. And Namath was better than Len Dawson (who was a fine QB).

You realize that Staubach and Namath's careers overlapped by only a few years, right? It's like the difference between Brady and Eli....and they are the same era of football...

And I dont see how you can say that about Jurgensen...he had a longer career than Namath, and led the league in multiple passing categories for numerous years....but whatever....I wasn't there, right?

I didnt have to be alive to know that Wilt Chamberlain was one of the most dominant centers of all time.....or to know that Lou Gherig was one of the best hitters ever.....or that Ty Cobb was racist... =P
